0:13.0	This shit never gets old, bro.
0:15.0	You know the wild part about it is like I went to school for this like 20 years ago almost. And it's like I didn't do anything with it.
0:22.2	And then that stupid meme popped up about men think about the Roman Empire. And James Altacher reached out to me. He's like, I got an idea because I know, you know James, I know James pretty well. He was in the city at that point in time. He moved out. He wrote that legendary piece back in 2020, like New York City is dead and it's never coming back.
0:37.4	I am glad he was wrong about that, but it was interesting.
0:39.5	We did an episode on that.
0:40.4	It was like, it was kind of wild, but like he DM me is like, I got an idea. So we ended up doing this episode about Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire and everything. And then next thing you know, two years later, I'm literally still doing podcasts on Rome. That's awesome, man, because my friend Toldenstone, I know you checked out that podcast before he came in here.
0:58.0	That was his third time on the show. I love talking with that guy. He always jokes about it though. He did like seven years of a PhD and there was no job at the end of the tunnel.

Back in the day, yeah.
1:44.6	I taught sophomores. So it's like they're not scared of, they're not scared of anything anymore
1:48.0	because they're not freshmen. Right. But they're not juniors. They don't have to care about graduating yet. That's right. It's like, fun year. Animal taming. That's pretty much what it is. It teaches you a lot about life.
